One of the hip-hop artists that we work very closely with is getting ready to drop his first full length album (executive produced by Fresh Like Produce!) All tracks are recorded and mixed. The final step is mastering before its ready to be pressed. It will be available on this website, and in local stores. Here are some pics from the release party for the EP version of the album:

If you can’t find us in our print shop, you might find us in the studio. Every now and then, our tracks get picked up by TV.
On that note, one of our hip-hop instrumentals recently got placed in an episode of MTV’s True Life. The episode first aired July 20th, 2008.
Back in April when we had the spring launch party, we released volume one of our Fresh2Death Mixtape.
The album features a bunch of artists in the Washington DC underground hip-hop and indie rock circles. The music scene in DC is definitely alive and kicking.
Anyway, we only pressed up 100 copies of volume one. And now we are all out. We gave a free copy to everyone who bought a shirt at all of our events so far this summer. We may or may not press up another 100 copies, and it should be available for download in the near future. More importantly, Fresh2Death Volume 2 is in the works!
Some of the artists on Volume 1 include: Flex Mathews, Middle Distance Runner, Rosetta Stoned, Educated Consumers, and mathpanda.
We remixed Rosetta Stoned’s Fungi track. Check it out on our blueline myspace.
We recently placed a track on VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club. This satisfies my life long dream of being involved in a project with Dustin Diamond. FYI, despite rumors to the contrary, Dustin Diamond is in NO way related to Mike D. (Mike Diamond) of The Beastie Boys. Although they do bare a slight resemblance.
